Chapter 713: Chapter 353: Old He Brings Old Meng_2
Yan Fei was also happy, finding the old man quite amusing. He guessed that Old He originally intended to surprise him but then worried that Yan might be too busy, hence the phone call. Yan chuckled and said: "Come on over, everything is ready. Just having bread soaked in boiling water is too plain, I’ve also prepared pickled vegetables. Don’t worry, no matter how many people come, I’ll make sure everyone has enough to eat!"
Old He didn’t beat around the bush: "Alright, we are on our way now. Including an old friend of mine and the driver, there will be six of us in total, travelling in two compact cars - one with a Yanjing license plate and the other with a Provincial City plate. We should get there in a little over an hour."
Yan Fei replied even more succinctly: "Hurry up then! There is a big bridge at the entrance to Sancha River town. There’s a small road at the west side of the bridge that leads north. I’ll have someone wait for you there on a motorbike. Just follow them straight to my greenhouse. I’ll show you my tigers and bears - have you ever seen an 800-catty tiger? When you get here, we’ll slaughter it to make a meat stew!"
Old He laughed loudly, agreed, and then hung up.
After hanging up, Yan Fei turned to Heizi: "Wait for an hour, then go wait at the west side of the bridge on your motorbike. Look for two compact cars - one with a Yanjing plate and the other with a Provincial City plate - and lead them to the greenhouse. I’ll head over there first!"
After finishing, he returned to the greenhouse and grabbed the big net next to the pool. The old turtle, the size of a washbasin, which was lounging at the bottom of the pool, was the first unfortunate victim to be hauled out. Yan put it into a large basin, then scooped up a two-foot-long carp and threw it in as well.
In the cage originally meant for the tiger, there were two wild chickens and three wild rabbits that had been waiting for their doom for several days. Today, they were finally spared. Being stared at daily by the tigers and the bears outside the cage, and the Golden Eagle above, their lives were truly worse than death!
To Yan Fei, dealing with wild rabbits and chickens was even more familiar than his experience with raising cattle. He worked with expert precision, wrapping up the task in no time. When he checked the kitchen, the high-quality beef was still untouched. Even though the girls have spoiled some of the ordinary beef, plenty was still left.
Now that they knew guests were coming, everyone was eager to help and started cleaning the vegetables.
These didn’t need to be prepared right away. Although They now had electricity, they still used a primitive wood-burning stove. Despite its simplicity, it was incredibly convenient. Yan Fei had modified the stove to accommodate three pots, which made the preparation process much easier. Even if they needed to make several dishes, they could manage without delaying the meal.
While he was busy with this, Xu Xiaoyan went to clean and arrange the seats in the greenhouse. The furniture, although crude and without any paint, looked rather impressive as it was made from top-quality pine wood. The natural wood grain was as good as any painted furniture.
Although it wasn’t popular now, in a few more years it would be called "raw wooden furniture", a high-end item.
The tea set was simple with glass cups and a teapot, nothing fancy. However, cheap doesn’t mean it can’t look good. The transparent glass cups had small flowers on them, giving them a decent look.
The place to entertain guests might not be luxurious, but the panorama house, spacious and airy, was quite nice except that the midday sun had become a bit too scorching. Yan Fei had an idea and covered a section of the greenhouse plastic with a rag.
Seeing that it was about time for the guests to arrive, Yan Fei became anxious, so he decided to ride his motorbike to the bridgehead himself and let Heizi wait back at the house.
In a short while, the visitors arrived. With his sharp eyes, Yan Fei spotted Old He in the passenger seat of the front car. He waved at him and, without wasting any time chatting, mounted his motorbike and took the lead.
The road was a bit narrow, but it had been used frequently for transporting cow dung, and since every rainfall, they had been patching it. With the absence of any other large vehicles on this road, it remained quite smooth.
Once they got to the bamboo forest, Yan Fei stopped his motorbike. Cars couldn’t go any further because of the round and rolling watermelons that lay ahead.
"Boss Yan, you sure know how to enjoy life. Never mind the other stuff, the environment here is unbeatable!" Old He praised the moment he stepped out of the car. "I remember you were not even sixteen years old. How did you find a place that’s more suitable for a sixty-year-old’s retirement?"
For first-time visitors, on scanning the surroundings, they are instantly charmed by the scenery. With a gentle breeze coming from the river that encircles the area on three sides, and the rustling sound of Haloxylons in the bamboo forest, the sight of watermelon fields spread across several acres is indeed a treat to the eyes. Along the river, they could find a line of gingko trees - although the willows were still small, the circle of blossoming roses around them filled the air with a delightful floral aroma.
Just as Old He finished talking, he saw Miss Xu Xiaoyan and two girls coming over. Two large wolf dogs followed behind. In the melon field, the three purple figures would appear and disappear from time to time, making the seemingly static scene come alive.
Just as Yan Fei was about to speak, he saw Old He with a sly smile: "You sneaky young fellow, having one college student girlfriend isn’t enough for you? Who are these two girls?"
Yan Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "Those two are clients from Hong Kong who came to buy beef. They’ve come to see if I can supply them with beef on time. You’re quite old now, right? Why are you teasing me with such jokes?"
With a smirk, Old He teased: "Not bad! Boss Yan is selling beef all the way in Hong Kong now. Are we looking at exports and foreign currency earnings in the future?"
